Sweet ride , love the pipes . Gotta say that front and rear rim must be a bear to clean .

Both front rear, 18" 100 spoke. Came from an uncle of mine, wanna say they are american wire. "a bear to clean"? that is putting it nicely...The words I would use to describe the process I can not use on this site.

when a wheel builder tells you its not as strong as them why - there is a reason i say this as i used to build wheels for MTB race teams and they had upto cross 5 spoking man that was fun
we also because we could built snow flake wheels and radially laced wheels.
now back to why - radially laced is not nessacarrily weaker as all wheels are only as good as the components in them - hub flange/hub drilling,Rim width/Depth/wall construction, Spokes/diameter/butting/metal.
To build a strong radial wheel you need thicker plain gauge spokes, you need the hub drilled to accept the radial spokes and the rims also.
Currently on my MTB i have 32 radial laced spokes on a 22mm wide double wall rim with double butted stainless pokes of the front and the read is very trick cross 2 on the driveside and radial on the non drive side and i use these on a 7" travel downhill bike and have yet to even on the harsh terrain and a few crashed have to true them

(EDIT), now that I know this, more money will fly out the window..

Thanks for the Info Hobbit!
